Lukman is a single parent of two young children - help us after a long illness

Since a long illness in February, I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a hairdresser, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a dental nurse in the evenings, which will triple my income by May, but I need to bridge the gap until then. Some weeks I skip meals so my children can eat. I have never asked anyone for help like this before, and I'm doing it for them. Once I finish my course, I'll pay it forward. Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts. Where the $450 goes: • Rent top-up: $210 • Course fees and exam costs: $90 • Groceries and school meals: $150 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Lukman
